| Golf - A Passion for millions - a great blending of sun, sport and things social.
Golf is one of those sports that can really hook you, and you can play it as long as you can still stand up. It is attractive as a pastime where people of substance make deals that turn the world, a great way to get some sun (Vitamin D) and fresh air, and a bloodless way to inflict great emotional damage on the rest of your foursome.
Golf is also one of those one-sided activities that, because you swing only one way and twist the trunk forcefully one way, and drive off one leg, very commonly results in slow-onset, chronic injuries that hamper the game and leave you in pain. To maintain your body for golf you need to perform exercise that balances muscle, tendon and ligament strength so your joints and stay correctly alligned.
We have invited experts in field of golf to share their secrets for staying in top shape for the game in this catagory. Read on!
